Abstract
An external rear view mirror for motor vehicles is provided, and includes a housing that conforms to a streamlined shape of the vehicle. The housing serves to accommodate an adjustable mirror body. The forward end of the housing, as viewed in a forward direction of travel of the vehicle, merges with a part of the vehicle. To avoid breaks and steps in the vicinity of this end, the forward end of the mirror housing is adjustable, especially with respect to its height, when the mirror has already been mounted on the vehicle.
